1. [+1,492, -82] Honestly, 2018 belonged to BTS

2. [+1,281, -96] I went "huh?" when I saw Red Velvet perform after Twice ㅎ I personally thought BTS and Twice should've been the last performers ㅎ just a personal opinion though ^^~~~

3. [+1,071, -64] Such a deeply rooted evil tradition

4. [+174, -9] BTS and Twice should've been the ending stages ㅋㅋ Can SM fans speak up and tell us exactly what SM singers did all year long?

5. [+145, -4] This is just way too much... the journalist hit the issue right on the end. It was basically an SM show with invited guests.

6. [+144, -4] SM never knows moderation. At least JYP and YG aren't so obsessed with the ending stages. It's not like SM is going to go bankrupt if they give the ending to BTS. They're dirty until the very end.

7. [+144, -10] The ending may have been EXO but the most memorable stage was BTS. I respect the way they danced and sang until it looked like their bodes were going to crumble.

8. [+140, -4] The scene of power abuse in the music industry

9. [+121, -4] I just hope SM feels embarrassment ^^

10. [+107, -2] This is why I'll always pass on SM

11. [+101, -2] Didn't care whether SM did special stages or got the endings, the other singers caught my attention more anyway...

12. [+98, -1] The last line of the article hit the nail on the head. "It was as if SM was the hosts of the concert and the other singers were guests."

1. [+1,007, -164] This is a great article. MBC was the worst out of the three broadcast companies. Messy hosting, poor stage quality... who exactly was this all for?

2. [+861, -133] The article points out the facts. It was an SM show that invited singers from other companies. It left a bad taste in my mouth.

3. [+644, -94] Why did we need to know that it was TVXQ's 15th anniversary? Go shout that at your own SM party, why at a public broadcast show?

4. [+689, -191] It's obvious SM is feeling antsy about BTS. SM's losing popularity because of BTS while EXO is floundering out there. SM has no way but to pressure the three broadcast companies into promoting SM for them. This year-end was pathetic.

5. [+574, -102] I was so put off by how obvious the bias was ㅋㅋ Two SM hosts in the MC line, TVXQ as the first act ending, EXO as the second act ending, random HOT songs, random SM singers popping up for no reason at all ㅋㅋ Did SM think the public would be like "wow, amazing" if they spammed themselves through the entire show..? The public are not fools... it's only ruining their own image in the end ㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+377, -57] Was this really public broadcast? It was so bad

7. [+354, -47] This was fact. Anyone could tell something was off with this year-end show.

8. [+303, -42] This article isn't the problem, it's SM and MBC for their clear bias.

9. [+300, -41] This is just further proof that SM is hanging by their fingers right now. Their singers have had failed comebacks one after the other and are being pushed back by singers from other companies. They want to keep the honor of their past but times have changed now. SM is not the SM that it used to be.

10. [+274, -40] SM basically threw this entire party as if they're the only ones who wrote K-Pop history. I think that's why Black Pink didn't even bother coming ^^ BTS was basically treated like cold rice just for being from a smaller agency ^^ The K-Pop industry is so corrupted~~~
